The Back Log in the Fire.
DO5tOIt I U5t.

have seen good many ancient cus- toms and opinions attacked in my time, but never until yesterday have heard questioned the wisdom of keep ing "back log" in wood fire. Peo- pie who quarrel about every other detail in the original placing and sub- sequent poking of the sticks are united on the back log. The custom, more- over, has come down to us from our forefathers, who certainly had an ex- perience in the matter of wood fires which their posterity do not enjoy !; then, too, before the innovator lays a desecrating hand upon the back log, he ought to consider the memories and associations which have gathered about it. One should hesitate to knock the bottom, as it were, out of MT. Warmers charming studies on this subject. What would be the feelings of that gifted writer if he were told that a back log, so far from being the main stay and fountain head, so to say, of the fire, is useless, and in fact mischievOus, encumbrance This, how ever, was the assertion which heard yesterday from lady of my acquaint- ance here in Boston, as we sat in her drawing room before large and roar ing fire. There was no back log, and the sticks were piled on a system of diagonal construction. "The great object" said my fair but heretical hostess, "is to have a network of crev- ices so that there shall be draught of air throughout the fire. The back log simply takes up room." Perhaps, after all, the back log was chiefly in- tended as a storehouse of fire in the days before matches were invented. However, hasten to say that I have no intention of dogmatizing upon . subject which has sundered 90 many friendships as has that which regards the proper construction and manage ment of wood fire.

She Broke the Engagement

because she saw that he had ceased to love her. Her beauty had faded, her former high spirits had given place to a dull lassitude. What had caused this change? Functional derange- ment. She was suffering from those ailments peculiar to her sex. And 80 their two young lives drifted apart. How needless, how cruel! Had she taken Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion she might have been restored to health and happiness. If any lady reader of these lines is simi- 3arly afflicted, let her lose no time in procuring the "Favorite Prescrip- tiOn." It will give her a new lease of life.

The Portrait of Christ.

William H. Ingersoll, in American Magazine.
 On the damp aud gloomy walls of the catacombs of sepulture and wor- ship, in the monuments of the primi- tive Christian church, on the portals and in the apses of ancient Byzantine basilicas, in stately cathedrals of the middle ages, in the proud galleries of the worlds art, and even on the hum- ble walls of the lowliest homes, or in cherished books of the poor, that strange and wonderful face arrests the mind with 8 celestial thought, and charms the imagination with the hope that we may hereafter sec Him as He is.
 Whether depicted in the coarse, rude lines of the earliest sketches, or in the finished touches of the masters skill; whether sad and painful with divine and human sorrow, or glorious in heavenly triumph, the same face is always represented. The whole of Christendom is enriched by these me- morials of a divine visitation.
 With endless variations of linea- ments and expression, there has always been preserved a faithful adherence to the general type of some ancient ideal. In the midst of classic art, though about the period of it's decline, there suddenly appeared the image of strange but complete personality, diff fering from all pagan ideals. It was the Christ He had come into the world, and lived and labored among men who cherished his memory and they desired to leave to the ages to come some pictured reminder of his human semblance.

Whittier as a Man.

The whole country and the whole English reading world unite in their tribute of honor and esteem to the good Quaker poet, John G. Whittier, on his eightieth birthday. Whittier is an old man whose work is done. All the antagonisms of his prime are long since forgotten, and all the asperities of his early work have long since lost their bitterness, and now, in the be- nign peace of his old age, he sits, as it were, in the warm chimney corner of nation's loving regard, the most ven- erated figure, perhaps, in the whole land. Mir. Whittier has no family of his own, but now, in his old age, that indescribable feeling of family regard goes out irresistibly toward him from whole people. He holds the pleas ant place of gran'pa in the nation's heart.
 This widespread feeling of regard for MT. Whittier is not due entirely to the fact that he is poet and the pos- sessor of great literary renown.. It is due, in large degree, to the convic- tion, which his whole life has served to strengthen, that he is a good man plain, genuine man of homely vir- tues, man who, to the best light within him. has done right. There have been greater poets and broader thinkers than Whittier who have been lesser men than he. There have been men in this country of greater origi- nality, of keener wit, of greater lit- erary accomplishment; but there have been few whose characters have been built upon firmer rock bottom ba- sis of sturdy worth than his.
 Then, again, Whittier possesses that inevitable attribute of great minds modesty. There is something about true greatness that is always self-dis- trustful and perhaps the surest evil dence of greatness in man is his own unconsciousness ot the fact. Whittier possesses this inconsistencies in re- markable degree and for this reason the world is the more willing to &C., cord him that need of honor that is, by himself, unclaimed.
 He has often been called Ca man of the people," There is nothing weak and literary about him. The learned aflectations, the self-conscious vanity, the spirit of caste and coterie that de- form the characters of so many lit- erary people seem to De entirely un- known to Whittier. The learned polysyllabical dignity with which so many eminent authors invest them selves, never freezes the trembling wis., itor at Whittier's homelike home. He is as plain as farmer, and makes all men his neighbors. This is the style of man who endears himself to thoughtful, sturdy men. He has fol- lowed Charles Dickens advice to boys much beyond the period of his boy hood, and has 'just done all the good he could and not made any fuss about it."
 It is not necessary here to speak of Whittier's poetry. His best poems are known by heart to the lovers of American song. His works will be critically dissected and discussed by learned literary specialists for many generations. But the poets contem- poraries do him best service in testi- flying to his nobility of character as a man.

SLEEP AND DEATH.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

When Sleep drops down beside my love and me, Although she wears the countenance of 8 friend, A jealous foe we prove her in the end. In separate barks, far out on Dreamland's 8 sea She lures our welded souls. Wild winds blow free And drift us wide apart, by tides that tend Tow'rd unknown worlds Not once our strange ways blend Through the long night, while sleep looks on in glee. O Death, be kinder than thy sister seems When at thy call we journey forth some day Through that my ysterous and unatlassed strait To lands more distant than the land of Dreams, Close, close together let our spirits stay, Or else with one swift stroke, annihlatei
